They have informed CN that their final ruling will be delivered by August 9th. The CIRB is currently assessing the situation to determine whether the strike should proceed or if other measures need to be taken. No work stoppage can occur until either party files the required 72-hour notice after the CIRB issues its decision, subject to any extension of the cooling off period that may be ordered by the CIRB.   💼 Shein's Supply Chain Expansion Raises U.S. Cybersecurity Concerns Shein's expansion into selling supply chain technology has raised concerns among U.S. cybersecurity experts about potential spying risks due to its ties to China.
